Use of Web Service API

By hsalama

Hello Tannu Agarwal,

The invocation codes are typical in the online advertising world and their advantage is the simplicity of pasting the invocation code into any web page.

Our ad server not only serves web banners, it also serves ads for insertion into SMS messages, MMS messages, audio calls and ringback tones, ... Etc. These services can be implemented in many different ways and mostly not as web pages. So a web services API was more appropriate, because of its flexibility.

The Web Ad Serving and Tracking Engine (WASATe) is complements the ad server for mobile web banners .One of its features is that it provides the invocation codes web developers are used to. WASATe's first release will support javascript and php invocation codes.

Regards,

Hello chrismvn,

Actually it seems there's a problem with the link you trying, change the message type field to the type you want the adserver to retrieve for you as shown in the Web Service API page, in your case you have to change the message type to "picturead".

Also make sure there is a picture ad in the adserver to be retrieved when you request a picture ad.

Hello chrismvn,

Usually the result of the text ad is the text itself but on the picture ad is the link to download the picture. So, make sure of the URL you are using for requesting a picture ad using the right operator id and password?

Would you please provide me with the dimension of the JPG image you are using. Also provide me with the details of the campaign containing that picture ad.

it was because the campaign weight was 0, so the campaign was not activated. now it is ok
Thank you for everything.
